The Committee had before it a report by the Executive Director Corporate Services which presented an update on the annual air quality monitoring results for 2023.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee note the findings of the 2024 Air Quality Progress Report (APR) for Aberdeen City Council.

Members asked a number of questions of officers.

During questioning, there was mention of Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership, and the Convener therefore made a transparency statement due to his role as a member of NHS Grampian Board, but did not consider that this amounted to an interest which required him to leave the meeting.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note that officers would report to the November meeting on the review of certain Air Quality Management Areas and would ensure this report was added to the business planner;

(ii)       to note that there would be a delay to the reporting of the Air Quality Action Plan due to the amended timelines with the Local Transport Strategy;

(iii)      to note that the Chief Officer – Strategic Place Planning would arrange for officers to circulate a service update to Members on the EV Infrastructure Joint Procurement Exercise timeline; and

(iv)      to note the findings of the 2024 Air Quality Progress Report (APR) for Aberdeen City Council.
